My handwriting sucks too, and much of it is nearly illegible, but I find that I have much better retention if I keep written notes rather than typing.
Even if some of my notes are difficult (or even impossible) to read, it's still sufficient to help remember what I felt so notable that I wrote it down.
I realize that everyone's not the same, but studies have shown that writing leads to better conceptual recall (but typing tends to record more information)
- _carbyau_ 5y agoMy wife's version of a shopping list is a bunch of lines of "running writing Ws". The typed approximation being Wwwwwwwww Wwwwwwwww ...etc At the shops, I have no idea but she knows what she wrote.
- lurquer 5y agoI’m familiar with that language. I think it’s intentional. We’re being tested somehow... (I particularly like, when I’m sent to the store, reading “Wwwwwwwww” followed by a legible “etc.”) ProTip: always bring home some flowers; it seems to distract them.
